1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,280
John Derek Worboys,
I'm arresting you on suspicion

2
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,720
of six counts of sexual assault
between 2005 and 2008.

3
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,680
They won't be asking you...
to testify.

4
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,760
I wanted to look the bastard
in the eye

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,600
and tell everybody
what he did to me.

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,040
I wanted to have my moment in court.

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,760
Mr Worboys handed you a glass
of something bubbly.

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,840
And you drank that, too.
Because he forced me to.

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,560
He's like a professional conman.

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,800
You continue to constitute
a significant risk of serious harm.

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,520
I therefore pass down on you

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,240
a minimum custodial term
of eight years.

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,840
I-I was told
that the Crown Prosecution Service

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,960
had looked at all the evidence.

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,400
No, I can tell you that the CPS

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,040
did not review the evidence
in your case.

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,160
They lied to me.

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,560
Why didn't she flag, Dave?

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,840
Seems it wasn't ever recorded
as a crime.

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,160
It was only logged
as a crime-related incident.

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,360
You know, I've been looking into
bringing a complaint

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,240
against the police
for the way they treated us.

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,280
So, you're asking,
do I wanna sue the police with you?

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,200
My advice would be to pursue this
under the Human Rights Act.

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,400
The only problem is that
it's never been done before.

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,480
Eight years did spook me a bit.
Yeah, he's not getting out.

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,640
After eight years,
he could apply for parole.

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,480
In order to do that, he'd first
have to admit to what he's done.

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
So, this is where you'll be working.

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,800
Everybody,
this is Carrie Simonds,

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,440
who's joining the Comms team today.

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,800
- Hey. Hi.
- Hello.

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,479
Oh, it's actually Symonds.
Oh, sorry.

34
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:50,160
And this is Cherry,
your new neighbour.

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,479
Hi.
Hi.

36
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:52,759
I'll leave you to it.

37
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,840
Carrie? Sorry.
Yeah.

38
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,520
I hope you don't mind
me bringing this up,

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,600
but... aren't you the girl who was
a victim of that black cab guy?

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,120
The rapist.

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,079
Ooh, er... not sure about "victim",

42
00:02:25,079 --> 00:02:28,160
but, erm, yes,
I did do some interviews about it.

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800
I understand a lot of women
came forward after that,

44
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,000
but... you have sort of put yourself
out there now as, like, "that" girl.

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Er, well, I...

46
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,480
I learnt a lot from that experience,

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,640
about how, you know,
the media operates, so...

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,800
..hopefully, I'm a bit savvier now.

49
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,520
So, I've printed you both a document

50
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,760
of all the materials
we've received from the Met.

51
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,760
And as predicted,
they were mightily pissed off

52
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,360
at having to hand it over,

53
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,800
and they even said
that they had no desire,

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,520
in the current financial climate,
"to spend disproportionate sums

55
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,760
"defending a claim
that was many years out of date

56
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,800
"and, legally,
had no prospect of success".

57
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,079
Well, they can fuck right off.

58
00:03:32,079 --> 00:03:34,320
Couldn't have said it
any better myself.

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,920
OK, so, as predicted,
the IPCC investigations

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,840
into both of your cases find the
complaints are not substantiated,

61
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,880
and the most serious disciplinary
action that they recommended

62
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,800
was a... a few written warnings.

63
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,040
What about telling me that the CPS
had reviewed my case when it hadn't?

64
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,560
A "genuine mistake".

65
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,240
OK, and what about not telling me
that they found the drugs

66
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,560
that he used to sedate me
in my bloodstream?

67
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,680
They actually do find that
largely substantiated,

68
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,920
but they... they do want to note
that the investigating officer

69
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160
at the time had, erm...
a "heavy workload".

70
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,200
What?

71
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,560
We now know that they didn't search

72
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,360
Worboys' house
when he was first arrested.

73
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,399
I was told that they did

74
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,600
and that they didn't find
anything incriminating.

75
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,400
But, actually,
the most incredible revelation

76
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,560
is of the CCTV footage
of you leaving the club that night.

77
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,120
They said that there was no sign
of me on the footage.

78
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,560
That's because they were looking
at the wrong night -

79
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,159
the 27th, not the 26th.

80
00:04:38,159 --> 00:04:39,720
If they had the correct date,

81
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,320
they would have seen
that you left the club at 2am,

82
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,400
and they would have known
that Worboys was lying

83
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,560
when he said
he picked you up at 3:50.

84
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,960
The initial investigation
didn't even analyse

85
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,760
your mobile phone data,
which would have confirmed

86
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,600
when you got into his cab
and where he took you.

87
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,880
It's like a joke.

88
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,760
I'm guessing it doesn't get
any funnier for me?

89
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,840
No. Almost all the allegations in
your case, they say, are not proven.

90
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,800
You saying that you weren't
believed - not proven.

91
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Being told not to show emotion
in your interview...

92
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,720
Well, DC Stephens even denies
ever saying that to you,

93
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,800
so it's your word against his.

94
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,200
The only concession is that
they agree that the guy living

95
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,880
in your old flat, Billy Houghton,
should have been interviewed.

96
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,280
And to cap it all off,
they've released a statement

97
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:27,640
saying that they have improved
training and changed procedures

98
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520
so that none of this
will ever happen again.

99
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,440
It's what they always do.

100
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800
So... what do we do?

101
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Because, to be honest, this is only
making me even more determined.

102
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,200
Yeah, same.

103
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,040
We need somebody who's going to
take this on for us in court.

104
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,200
And I have somebody in mind.

105
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,840
A really top barrister.

106
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,720
I've met this... guy.

107
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:54,120
Tell me more.

108
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:59,720
It was an arranged thing.
Erm, my mum insisted on it.

109
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,600
You know, I actually think she would
have kicked me out onto the street

110
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,560
if I hadn't agreed to it.

111
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,440
What's his name? What's he like?
He's...

112
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,360
..quite nice, actually.

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,400
Arham.

114
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640
You know, good Muslim boy.

115
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,120
He wore cream chinos.

116
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,840
Good-looking?

117
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Not bad.

118
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,800
You gonna see him again?

119
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,840
Don't know.

120
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,200
I just keep thinking...

121
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,240
..what's the point?

122
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960
I haven't even told my family
about what happened to me.

123
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,080
I certainly...

124
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,560
I couldn't tell him.

125
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,560
It's like...

126
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,360
I feel like..

127
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,880
I feel like nobody would want me...

128
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,920
..if they knew.

129
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,800
You know, at some point, you're
gonna have to talk about it...

130
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,680
..and not just with me.

131
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,960
You know, I tried that with Gav
at first,

132
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,080
keeping it all buried, worrying
about what he'd think of me.

133
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,320
It's exhausting.

134
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,840
You know, I couldn't do it any more.

135
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,440
I realised I had to come to terms
with what happened to me,

136
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200
and so I thought,
"Fuck it, I'm gonna tell you,

137
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,720
"whether you wanna hear it or not,
for my sake."

138
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,880
Mm.
Gav's not perfect.

139
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,000
Sure he'd say I'm not easy
to live with either, but...

140
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,960
But, to be fair, since I told him,
he's been nothing but supportive.

141
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,440
So... maybe give Cream Chinos
a chance.

142
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,920
Yeah.

143
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,920
You see, the problem I've got

144
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,640
with this programme
you're talking about

145
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,480
is I would have to tell the truth.

146
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,760
I can't just sit here
and tell you lies, sir.

147
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360
The last thing
we'd want in a treatment programme

148
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,480
is for you to lie.

149
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,760
No, it's... it's just not in me.

150
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,080
So, why don't we begin
with you talking about the offences

151
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,440
for which you've been convicted?

152
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,840
Well, that's the problem,
because I didn't do anything.

153
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,640
I'm an innocent man.

154
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,680
And that's your position?

155
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,640
As far as I'm concerned,
any encounters were consensual.

156
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,880
It was all
just a bit of harmless fun.

157
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,040
And as for drugging them?

158
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,080
Well, I mean, it's...
that's complete nonsense.

159
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,760
See, I shouldn't be in here,
and that's the truth.

160
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,200
I note you no longer
call yourself John Worboys.

161
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,080
You now call yourself John Radford.
Why is that?

162
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,680
It's very simple.

163
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,920
The name "Worboys" is dirt, innit?

164
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,040
Because of what those women said
about me,

165
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,640
because of their false accusations.

166
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,520
I can't even call myself
by my own name any more.

167
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,400
How is that fair?

168
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,080
It's really late.

169
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,760
Why not give it a rest
and pick it up again tomorrow, eh?

170
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,800
That police officer
who first looked into my case,

171
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,200
DC Stephens, I kept asking him

172
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,840
to talk to Billy Houghton,
the guy that lived in my old flat,

173
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,800
because he saw Worboys that night.

174
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Stephens says here that I was

175
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,040
"reluctant" for him
to talk to Billy.

176
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,640
What an arsehole!
That's such absolute bollocks!

177
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,160
It says here he has never had
any specialist training

178
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,040
for investigations into rape
or sexual assault

179
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,400
and, in fact,
no training at all since 1989.

180
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,560
Oh, God.

181
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,320
I'll see you in the morning.

182
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,760
Don't be too long.

183
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,200
Come!

184
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,600
Ladies, can I introduce you
to Phillippa Kaufmann?

185
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:13,800
Phillippa, this is Sarah,
and this is Laila.

186
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,560
- Very pleased to meet you. Welcome.
- Hi.

187
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,080
Now, we're about to go in
with the police's lawyers

188
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,120
for what's called
a structured settlement discussion.

189
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,760
Basically, can we resolve this
without going to court?

190
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,040
Is there a non-financial remedy
we can explore,

191
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,200
such as a public apology to you?

192
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,520
Can I just ask,
is that a possibility,

193
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,920
a public apology from them?

194
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,960
Not a cat's chance in hell,
I'm afraid, but...

195
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,880
it may help our case later on
if we can at least say we tried.

196
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,280
Right, ladies, follow me.

197
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,680
29 women were attacked by Worboys
after he attacked me,

198
00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:59,480
before he was finally arrested.

199
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,520
29.

200
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,840
Those are all individual lives
messed up that didn't need to be.

201
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,320
And those are just...
erm, the women that we know about.

202
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,960
I mean,
there are almost certainly more

203
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,280
who never reported
what happened to them.

204
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,600
I was disbelieved and humiliated,

205
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,320
and I don't believe the police have
sufficiently been held to account.

206
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,000
I think the impact
of what the police did to me

207
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,240
was worse
than the actual rape itself.

208
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,240
Like Laila, I continue to live
with a sense of guilt

209
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,800
for all the women
that came after me.

210
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,600
Even though I know
it's not my fault...

211
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,120
..I ask myself,
could I have done more to stop him?

212
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,520
I'm shocked
that you won't just admit liability.

213
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,480
The fact that you are fighting this

214
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,680
makes me feel like
you still don't believe me.

215
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,080
The police's position is that,
whilst we are, of course,

216
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,440
sympathetic to the undoubted trauma
you have both suffered...

217
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:08,760
..we do not admit any liability on
the part of the Metropolitan Police.

218
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,960
We believe the investigation
into the crimes of John Worboys

219
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,440
was reasonable,
ultimately successful.

220
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,120
S... Successful?

221
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,920
It took you five years to work out
these attacks were linked.

222
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,080
Year after year,
he was left to roam the streets

223
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,520
and attack other women
when he should have been locked up!

224
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,040
What we would like to do, however,
is to invite you both to attend

225
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,240
a police training programme, present
your experiences to the attendees.

226
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:41,120
The hope is
that this would be educational

227
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,600
and beneficial to both sides.

228
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,360
Right, I think we're done here,
ladies, Harriet.

229
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,520
Thank you.

230
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640
Fucking training programme?!
Shh.

231
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,200
OK, now you can talk.
They've got two hopes of us talking

232
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,200
to this load of trainee policemen
about what happened to us -

233
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,920
Bob Hope and no fucking hope,
and you can tell them that from me.

234
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,480
What a patronising load
of old bullshit.

235
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,520
Ladies, I think
we're gonna get along just fine.

236
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,120
Where's DC Stephens?

237
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:48,520
It appears the Met are not going to
call him to give evidence. What?

238
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,320
I suspect that they think he'll be
so undermining to their case

239
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,120
that they want to keep him away
at all costs.

240
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,680
Now, the problem is, if we call him,

241
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:57,240
we won't be able
to cross-examine him

242
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,680
because, in cases like this,
that's the rule.

243
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:03,000
So, he won't have to give an account
of himself in court?

244
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,640
I'm sorry.

245
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,560
NBV told us that even after
she'd been sick in the toilets,

246
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,240
she still carried on drinking.

247
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,600
Did this have, er,
an impact on your assessment of NBV?

248
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,000
The CCTV footage of her
falling over at the campus

249
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,880
was entirely consistent
with the actions of someone

250
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,200
who had had too much to drink
that night.

251
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,800
I thought the whole thing was odd.

252
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,360
I thought it was odd
that an educated girl

253
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,920
would accept a drink from a stranger
in those circumstances.

254
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,960
DSD told us she had taken
some cocaine with her friends,

255
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,880
and this showed up subsequently
in her blood tests.

256
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,160
Had she also drunk alcohol
that evening

257
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,000
before getting into Worboys' cab?

258
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,600
Well, her friends told us
they put her into the cab

259
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,600
after their night out
because she was so out of it.

260
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,240
My conclusion was
that DSD had not sustained

261
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,400
any specific psychiatric injury
as a consequence of the rape.

262
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,160
She had, however,
suffered a depressive episode

263
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720
as a consequence of how she had
been dealt with by the police.

264
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,240
Well, following the assault,
NBV developed symptoms

265
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,400
of post-traumatic stress disorder,
including nightmares,

266
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,800
intrusive imagery, flashbacks,

267
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,920
avoidance, anxiety and depression,

268
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,160
poor concentration
and social withdrawal.

269
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,360
She still suffers from moderate
to severe symptoms.

270
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,840
She can be tearful
and experiences mood swings.

271
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,880
And she suffers
from continuing sexual aversion

272
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,080
and a lack of sexual enjoyment.

273
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,720
Are you aware,
Inspector Underwood,

274
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,280
of a guide which outlines the Met's
standard operating procedures

275
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,800
for investigative techniques
in rape and sexual assault cases?

276
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,320
I am aware of it, yes.

277
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,080
It lays out detailed steps
and considerations to be followed,

278
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,320
from a starting point of treating
the victim's account as truthful,

279
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,400
does it not?

280
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,720
I don't know.

281
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,960
Why not, may I ask?

282
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,080
I just can't recall it
in any detail.

283
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,120
As a member of
one of the Met's Sapphire teams,

284
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,360
which are specialist rape and
sexual assault investigation units,

285
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,800
I find that quite an extraordinary
thing for you to say.

286
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,840
Well, in my opinion, it's not
something I consider practical

287
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,880
to apply to each and every case.

288
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:44,960
To this case?

289
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,920
I think these policies are fine
in theory...

290
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,560
but they're not always applicable
to day-to-day policing.

291
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,240
Then why have they been set out
by the Met as their guidelines?

292
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,200
I think
they have been created purely

293
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,640
to protect the police
from legal challenges.

294
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,839
If a case is not classified
as a serious sexual assault,

295
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,319
then details of the investigation
are not entered

296
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:14,040
into the Criminal Intelligence
Computer Database, are they?

297
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,720
No. Meaning no closing report
would need to be done, would it?

298
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,760
No.
Is that a good thing?

299
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,240
Honestly?

300
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,119
An opportunity to not have
to do one would be taken gladly.

301
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,440
Was there a drive from
your superiors at Borough Management

302
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,520
to disprove allegations of rape
and sexual assault?

303
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,560
Yes.
Why was that?

304
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,320
Because if an allegation
can be legally disproved,

305
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,320
then it would improve
detection rates.

306
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,680
So junior officers
were effectively encouraged

307
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,240
not to pursue allegations of rape
and sexual assault

308
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,280
and instead to focus
on other crimes such as burglary,

309
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,600
which were easier to clear up.
Is that right?

310
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,840
Broadly speaking, yes.

311
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:04,440
Coming now, DC Coldham,
specifically to the case NBV.

312
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,240
Even though her case bore
all the hallmarks

313
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,080
of a drug-facilitated
sexual assault,

314
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,360
she was not treated as such,
was she?

315
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:12,160
Personally, I believed her account.

316
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,200
But I knew there was no prospect
of the case being reopened

317
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,760
once the forensic
and toxicology results had come back

318
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,960
as inconclusive.

319
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,600
Even though there were still
many important leads

320
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:22,720
still to be followed up?

321
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,920
Yes.
So, under pressure from on high,

322
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,040
her case was not recorded
as a serious sexual assault,

323
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,840
supervision from more
senior officers did not occur,

324
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,120
and her case was not entered
into the data bases?

325
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,200
No.

326
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,920
And the case was cleared up
in three months.

327
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,280
No case closure report,

328
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,560
no detailed report entered
into the system.

329
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,560
And the Borough's clear-up rate
was thereby improved

330
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,400
since the case was not left
as unsolved.

331
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,880
Like I say, that... that was
the situation at the time.

332
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,120
Thanks. I can't believe
you're still waiting on a judgment.

333
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,840
This one'll be born before we hear.

334
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,120
So, how's life, then?

335
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,080
I'll be honest,
things are not great with Gav.

336
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,640
Hm?
It's me. It's...

337
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,040
I push him away, I know I do.

338
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,480
I just find it so hard to really...

339
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,080
let go emotionally, you know.

340
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,360
He's always been
pretty understanding, hasn't he?

341
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:28,440
Yeah, and he still is.

342
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,240
Sex is shit.

343
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,360
I hate being naked.

344
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,600
I actually hate opening my
fucking legs, to be honest with you.

345
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,640
Must be like going to bed
with a slab of marble.

346
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,320
At least he got you pregnant.

347
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,400
Yeah, I got a bit drunk that night,
which helped.

348
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,920
Let's just say
it wasn't entirely planned.

350
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,880

00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,200

358
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,000
Let us pray.

359
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:39,040
Lord, comfort and heal all those
who suffer in body, mind or spirit.

360
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,280
Give them courage
and hope in their troubles,

361
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,680
and bring them joy and salvation.

362
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,360
- In your mercy...
- Lord, hear our prayer.

363
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:51,200
That those who face difficult times
will find the strength to prevail.

364
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,320
In your mercy...

365
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,800
Lord, hear our prayer.
Lord, hear our prayer.

366
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,160
For the grace this week,

367
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,280
to live by faith
in every circumstance of life.

368
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,120
In your mercy...

369
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:03,600
Lord, hear our prayer.
Lord, hear our prayer.

370
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,080
Hello? Hello, Sarah?

371
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,960
'Hi.'
Hey. What's happening?

372
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,560
I just got off the phone to Harriet.

373
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,920
The judge said
there was clear evidence

374
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,040
that I had suffered...
significant harm

375
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,120
over a long period,
and with you...

376
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:27,920
but for the failures of the police,
you wouldn't have been raped at all.

377
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,120
'We won.'
No way.

378
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:34,240
We won!

379
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,920
They've awarded me 22 grand,
and you 19.

380
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,640
Fuck!

381
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,600
'I'm, like, I'm...'

382
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,400
I can't... I'm...

383
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,120
Harriet said she's sure
they'll appeal, but, erm...

384
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:50,760
we should enjoy today.

385
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,120
I'm glad you picked up.

386
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:59,160
So, tell me,
did he ask the question?

387
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,280
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I said yeah!

388
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,240
Laila, I'm so happy for you.

389
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,560
Yeah, Mum and Dad
are throwing us a party, it's...

390
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,280
Right, well, go and enjoy it,
lovely.

391
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,160
'We'll go for a coffee soon.'
Yeah.

392
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,000
Yeah, and I can meet your new baby.
'Yeah.'

393
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,800
All right, I'll...
I'll see you soon, yeah?

394
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,040
'OK. See you soon.'

395
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,920
There you are.

396
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,360
You OK?

397
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:38,560
Yeah.

398
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,080
They're happy tears.

399
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,960
They're all waiting in the garden.

400
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,080
OK.

401
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,440
Just one sec.
Mm-hm.

402
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,480
Welcome, son.
Thank you so much.

403
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,560
Thank you. Thank you.

404
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,960
You!
Oh!

405
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,680
Stop.
I love you.

406
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,880
Love you too.

407
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,680
This is crazy!
Gonna make me cry now.

408
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,000
Stop! You're so silly!

409
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,600
I'm so happy for you!

410
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,800
I am Dr Craissati,

411
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,840
a consultant clinical
and forensic psychologist,

412
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,520
and I'm here, Mr Radford,
to review your progress.

413
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,640
OK.

414
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,920
Well, I told the other psychologist
that I met recently that...

415
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,040
..the time had come
for me to change my stance.

416
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,680
I've withdrawn my application

417
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,440
with the Criminal Cases
Review Commission

418
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,680
to overturn my convictions,

419
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,560
and I've decided to accept full
responsibility for all my offences.

420
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:22,280
Can I ask what has brought about
this change of heart?

421
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,640
Him.

422
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,960
Up there.

423
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,080
The Lord Jesus Christ.
He has shown me the way.

424
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,400
I felt so guilty,
I didn't know who to speak to.

425
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,080
And then... then I found religion,

426
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,840
and I decided that, you know,
if I'm gonna follow the Lord,

427
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,200
I've got to be honest
and admit to what I've done.

428
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,520
Let's talk about what happened.

429
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,520
I always felt guilty
about my offences.

430
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:09,360
Yeah, but to begin with,
I maintained some hope

431
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:11,320
that my convictions
would be overturned,

432
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,560
and I might be released.

433
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,640
But I can see now
that this is unrealistic, and so...

434
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040
I've decided to use this
as a motivation for me

435
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,680
to take responsibility
for what I've done.

436
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,040
To let these women know
how sorry I am.

437
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,360
And to be honest, you know...

438
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,200
..and talk about everything.

439
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,880
I hope that they will be OK

440
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,640
and get on with their lives,
I really do.

441
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,560
I'm sorry, can I get a tissue?

442
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:00,440
Sorry.

443
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,920
Do you think you're ready to start

444
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,600
the Sexual Offenders
Treatment Programme?

445
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,720
That's what He's telling me.

446
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,960
I'm sorry.

447
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,400
Here they are.

448
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,040
As-salamu alaikum, beta.

449
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,000
Wa-alaikumu as-salam.

450
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:31,560
How are you both?

451
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,560
Not getting much sleep,
but, yeah, we're good.

452
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,760
I'll go and make some tea.

453
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,880
Ssh, ssh.

454
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,640
House is looking smart.

455
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,680
Would you like to hold her?
Oh, can I?

456
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,200
Shh, tch-tch-tch-tch.

457
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,760
She's so beautiful.

458
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,240
You know, I only ever wanted
the best for you.

459
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,240
Hm? You know that?

460
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,800
Yeah. I know.

461
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,440
Arham is a good man.

462
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,800
Yeah.

463
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,960
He is.

464
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:52,000
You got knocked back, then,
on your parole?

465
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,720
I've told them about finding God.

466
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,320
No, I've put my hands up
to it all,

467
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,800
told 'em how remorseful I am.

468
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,560
That'll only get you so far, mate.

469
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,600
In my experience, you...
you need to give them a reason.

470
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,600
What do you mean?

471
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,520
A reason why you started doing what
you were doing in the first place.

472
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,040
If you can't do that,

473
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,640
they're never gonna believe
that you know how to stop.

474
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,560
She was an old girlfriend, you know.
I don't really wanna talk about her.

475
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,480
I mean, can I?

476
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,880
You know, talk about someone
completely innocent?

477
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,280
Whoever this person is,

478
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,960
they can be anonymised
in any reports.

479
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,680
Well, she left me.

480
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,600
When was this?

481
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,440
Well, it's about, er,
summer time, 2005.

482
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,720
And I was really cut up about it.

483
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,800
You know, and then we were
sort of on-off, and...

484
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,720
And then I remember,
about a year later,

485
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,560
she phoned me and asked me
to come pick her up

486
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,680
and take her back to mine,
and I-I was excited about this.

487
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,320
But when I got to this bar,
she was absolutely hammered.

488
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,960
Totally drunk.

489
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,640
All I could do was take her home
to her mum's,

490
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,520
and I was on my own again.

491
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,400
Absolutely furious.

492
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,800
That night,
I went looking for someone.

493
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,720
That would have been the first one.

494
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,600
That was around...

495
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,000
September-October, 2006.

496
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,960
And then it just grew from there.

497
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,240
The truth was,
I only gave them half a tablet

498
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,200
because I didn't wanna do 'em
too much harm.

499
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,680
And then when they were out of it,
I'd just...

500
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,240
..touch their leg or
look up their skirt as I sort of...

501
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,000
..played with myself.

502
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,640
I only actually put my penis
inside one of 'em.

503
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,440
That's all. For maybe...

504
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,960
..four seconds.

505
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,000
I mean, I don't blame her, my ex,

506
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,680
you know, I-I take
full responsibility for my actions.

507
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,960
But I can see now that
that was the trigger.

508
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,720
Do you want cereal or toast?
Er...

509
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,320
Toast, please.

510
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,680
There you go. You take that.

511
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,080
Jack, can you take over a sec?

512
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,240
'It can't be true.
It's the same as before.'

513
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,000
We just find out about it
from the telly.

514
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,720
They all said, they were confident
he wouldn't get out of prison.

515
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,360
It's bullshit!

516
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,000
It's just more fucking bullshit.

517
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,800
For God's sake, he's attacked
over a hundred women. I...

518
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,280
How can anyone think it's safe
to let him back out on the streets?

519
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,480
Because we are not allowed
to know the reasoning,

520
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,000
the biggest problem we have

521
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640
is trying to understand
why they approved this.

522
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,480
Cos they live on Mars?

523
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,280
But why weren't we even consulted?

524
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,280
Because the system
doesn't take into account

525
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,880
the views of the victim.

526
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,320
When these things are decided,

527
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,280
the criminal gets a place
at the table,

528
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,320
the Parole Board,
the Ministry of Justice do too,

529
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,680
but the views of the victim
are not even considered.

530
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,200
So we just have to stand by
and watch whilst they let him out?

531
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,240
Well, no, we have to bring pressure
on David Gauke,

532
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,760
the Justice Secretary,

533
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,360
and get him to order
a judicial review of the decision

534
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,520
on the grounds
that it was legally irrational

535
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:16,960
to release Worboys.

536
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,720
And we have to move fast.

537
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,200
One thing we have been able
to find out is that...

538
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,200
as late as 2015,
he was denied transfer

539
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,560
from a high-security prison
to a lower-security open prison

540
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,720
on the grounds that he posed
an unacceptable risk.

541
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,480
Yet two years later, they're saying
he's suitable for parole?

542
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,440
That sounds pretty irrational to me.

543
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,920
The thought of him being released
in just a few weeks is...

544
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,160
It-It's terrifying.

545
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,840
Listen to me.

546
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,960
We are going to fight
to stop that from happening.

547
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,840
We are gonna scrap,
and we are gonna fight.

548
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,200
I've gotta go.

549
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Laila... No, it...
They'll be wondering where I am.

550
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,720
I'll go after her,
make sure she's all right.

551
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,760
But this is a fucking disgrace.

552
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,320
You know, I've heard there's a lot
of people who are very unhappy

553
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,600
with today's decision.

554
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,640
Whispers that Labour
and the Lib Dems might even call

555
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,480
for an inquiry.

556
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Well, that will certainly shove it
under David Gauke's hooter.

557
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,280
We need to keep it there.

558
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,760
We need to make a lot of noise,
and quickly.

559
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Well, I had
a very interesting phone call

560
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,080
from Carrie Symonds this afternoon.

561
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,600
She gave evidence
at the original trial?

562
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,160
Yes, I remember her.

563
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,200
Well, now she works for
the Conservative Party press office.

564
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,000
And she phoned
to say how angry she was and to...

565
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,680
offer her services.
Oh, yeah?

566
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,360
Yeah, so I think she'd be
very useful in lobbying David Gauke.

567
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,640
Worboys never once
showed remorse.

568
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,680
He described his behaviour
as banter,

569
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,440
and insisted
that the women accusing him of rape,

570
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,760
who took to the stand in tears,
shattered by the experience,

571
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,080
had in fact wanted
to have sex with him.

572
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,440
The decision to free him
was made a few months ago

573
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,719
by a Parole Board panel.

574
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,199
'We don't know
who made up this panel,

575
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:24,440
'and we don't know how and why
they came to this decision.'

576
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,679
Hi, David! Er, just two minutes
once you're done. Please.

577
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:31,920
I'll catch you up.
Right.

578
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,320
I just wondered if you might want

579
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,199
to read this op-ed piece
that I've written.

580
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:38,960
What's it about?
The Worboys Parole Board decision.

581
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,000
You know that decision
was based on the reports

582
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,600
from several psychologists?

583
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,600
I think he's pulled the wool
over their eyes.

584
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,480
You might not know this,
but as a young woman,

585
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,120
I was drugged by him
in the back of his taxi.

586
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,000
And I just thought, full disclosure,

587
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,080
as Justice Secretary,
you should know what I've said here.

588
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,240
OK, I'll have a read.
Thank you.

589
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,400
Moving down to Belmarsh, then, John?

590
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,760
Not long to go now, is it?

591
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:18,840
And from there...

592
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,720
..by the grace of God...

593
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,040
..I'll be released.

594
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,480
A free man.

595
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,000
Speech, Carrie!

596
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,800
I would just like to say
that I was just as surprised

597
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,200
as you all probably were when
I was asked to take this job on,

598
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,960
but I was pleasantly surprised.

599
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,080
I promise to give it my all.
Thank you.

600
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,680
Congratulations.
Youngest-ever Head of Comms.

601
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,720
You've done so well.
Thank you.

602
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,000
I do have just a... a small fly
I must put in the ointment, though.

603
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,880
David Gauke told me
that the MoJ will not be pursuing

604
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,160
a judicial review

605
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,640
of that Parole Board decision
on John Worboys. What?!

606
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,280
Why not? He said something
about "legal advice".

607
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,680
But then he's gonna get out!
Fuck! Shit! Carrie.

608
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:28,080
I'm telling you this as a friend,
OK?

609
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,960
But people have been saying you've
been a bit distracted lately.

610
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,360
Well, then, they can mind
their own business. Come on.

611
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,560
I'm just saying,

612
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,840
don't let this stuff get in the way
of what's really important, OK?

613
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,720
And why you're actually here.

614
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,880
Your career is taking off, Carrie.

615
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,600
Don't blow it now.

616
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,960
I really thought David fucking Gauke
would get behind us.

617
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,440
This is so disappointing.

618
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,720
My guess is he's looked at
all of this, and he's thinking

619
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:57,400
his department doesn't come out
of it smelling of roses.

620
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,480
So, what can we do now?

621
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,920
We can push for a review
of the decision

622
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,560
on behalf of Sarah and Laila.

623
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,760
Can we do that?

624
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,360
I'm not sure private individuals
will have the legal standing,

625
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,240
but we can certainly give it a try.

626
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:09,800
Money is going to be a problem,
though.

627
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,880
The rules have changed
since the human rights case.

628
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,880
It's now no longer possible to
take out insurance against losing.

629
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,720
Meaning that Sarah and Laila
would be personally responsible

630
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:19,800
for the Parole Board's legal costs
if we lost?

631
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,680
Precisely.
We need to raise money fast.

632
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,640
But by going against the government,
you could be risking your career.

633
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,600
I'm on it!

634
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,160
Yes, it is a letter that
I've been asking London MPs to sign,

635
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,520
a lot of them already have,

636
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,320
protesting against
the Parole Board's decision.

637
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,880
The women he attacked are fighting
to have his parole overturned,

638
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,240
and maybe this is something

639
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:46,320
that your paper could take
a more detailed look at.

640
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,400
And, hey, if you do decide to print,

641
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,880
don't forget to include the details
of the CrowdJustice link

642
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,160
at the bottom of your story.

643
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,760
'OK, well, I'll talk to my editor,
and we'll keep in touch. All right?'

644
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,280
We're still being contacted by women

645
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,240
who say that they are victims
of Worboys.

646
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:01,960
In the last few days,
I spoke to a woman in Bournemouth,

647
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,560
who's convinced that eventually
more victims will come forward

648
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,600
from that area because
he also drove his cab down there.

649
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,720
How about the appeal for donations
to help with the legal support?

650
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:14,480
Well, we've been completely
overwhelmed by the level of support

651
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,960
that we've received since opening
our CrowdJustice page.

652
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,520
The donations have been pouring in,

653
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,320
for which we are
incredibly grateful.

654
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,520
Rehabilitated?

655
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,760
He denied everything
until nine months before

656
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,440
the first time he could apply
for parole.

657
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,040
Hm, and then he found God.

658
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,560
Right. Conveniently.

659
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,760
Just in time for parole,
he saw the light.

660
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,280
Only gave half a Temazepam.

661
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,720
Says he only raped one woman!

662
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:54,880
Penis inside vagina
for four seconds!

663
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,840
Wait a minute. Yes, here.

664
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,080
Says, "He only started offending
in 2006

665
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,480
"after the break-up
with his girlfriend."

666
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,800
Yes I've just seen that.
Oh, thank you, Lord.

667
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,400
Come on, you two.
Mummy's running late.

668
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,120
I want you to be really good
for Connor, OK?

669
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,000
Right, ring the bell.
Wait there. OK.

670
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,240
OK.

671
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,760
Oh, there he is. It's exciting.

672
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,000
- Right, be good.
- All right, guys.

673
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,280
Go on, run up,
there's cakes up there. Bye!

674
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:46,760
Thanks so much for doing this.
It's all right.

675
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,880
I knew it would happen on half-term.
Jack's with his mates, so...

676
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,800
It's, not a problem.
You know I'm happy to help.

677
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,800
How's things at home?
Erm... not great.

678
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,920
Er, Gav's actually moved out now,
so...

679
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,760
OK. I'm sorry to hear.

680
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,160
Anyway, I'd better get going,
otherwise I'll be late,

681
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,560
but thanks again.
OK.

682
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:08,720
I'll see you later.

683
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,080
All right, good luck!

684
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,600
'Hi.'
Hi. I'm running late.

685
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,080
Are you nearly there yet?

686
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,960
I'm sorry, I...
I didn't get on the train.

687
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,800
I'm not coming down. I just..

688
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,560
'I suddenly thought...
the idea of seeing him again...

689
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:33,800
'I just can't do it.'
Yeah.

690
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,000
'I don't know how you can face going
back to that horrible time, Sarah.'

691
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,840
Because I wanna have my moment
in court with him today.

692
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,800
'Sorry. I know
I'm letting you down.'

693
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,200
No, you're not.

694
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,520
'Listen, if that's what
you wanna do,

695
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,000
'what you need to do, fuck it.

696
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,840
'Fuck them. Whatever works.'

697
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:57,240
I am sorry.
Stop apologising, OK?

698
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:59,440
'Listen, I'm gonna have to go,
otherwise I'll be late.

699
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,200
But, erm, I'll let you know
how it goes, OK?

700
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,800
'OK. Thank you.'
OK. Bye. Bye-bye.

701
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,280
Shit.

702
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,720
Erm, Royal Courts of Justice,
please.

703
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:55,280
Thank you.

704
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,160
My Lords, this is a unique case,

705
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,400
in which someone
who has been granted his freedom

706
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,160
has then had it taken away from him.

707
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:17,680
If ever there was a case for the use
of the judicial review jurisdiction

708
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,560
to be exercised
with the greatest care

709
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,520
and anxious scrutiny...

710
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,400
this is that case.

711
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,640
We see that Mr Worboys has been
seriously minimising the nature

712
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,560
and extent of his offending

713
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,760
and has been dishonestly
manufacturing his explanation.

714
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,960
Furthermore, we say
the Board has failed

715
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,120
to take into account
critical evidence,

716
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,320
evidence which it was not
in its discretion to ignore.

717
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,360
Evidence which, if it was going
to reach a lawful decision,

718
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,320
it HAD to take into account.

719
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,560
In the notes of the sessions,
attended with the psychologists,

720
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,880
Mr Worboys admits responsibility

721
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,080
only for those offences
for which he was convicted.

722
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,080
A total of 19 offences

723
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,800
carefully selected by
the Crown Prosecution Service,

724
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,760
as you can see from their statement,

725
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,280
so as to not overload
the indictment.

726
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,200
These offences were against
a total of 12 women,

727
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,920
and Worboys says

728
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:30,680
his offending began
in September-October 2006.

729
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,200
But let's look, then,
at what evidence is out there,

730
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,880
because that evidence paints
a very, very different picture

731
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,400
to the one presented by Mr Worboys
to the Parole Board.

732
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,160
The police's conclusion, having
investigated all of the offences

733
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,120
that resulted in the charges
brought against Mr Worboys,

734
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:57,080
is that he committed offences
against a total of 105 women.

735
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,800
We submit
this is very powerful evidence

736
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,560
that Mr Worboys' offending
was more extensive

737
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,440
than anything he has admitted.

738
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,280
And, crucially,

739
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:18,640
we can see from the evidence given
to the police by the witness DSD,

740
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,600
we can see
that his offending went back to,

741
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,800
at the very least...

742
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,040
May 2003.

743
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,320
That is more than three years
before the date

744
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,520
he says is when he began offending,

745
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,560
which blows out of the water
the Parole Board's assessment

746
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,600
that he has taken
full responsibility

747
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:41,920
for his offences,

748
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,640
or that he has been open and honest
in his account.

749
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,520
Happy birthday!

750
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,760
Mama!

751
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,600
Look at that!

752
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:19,880
You OK?

753
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,200
There's something
I've gotta tell you.
